This looks really useful, especially later on in skyblock. Can you do a similiar tutorial for a smooth stone generator like this?

I have been able to make it even cheaper... and trying now to find a way to connect several generators together, and then make a huge square room where everything will get stored!
Not the cheapest due to the fact that it utilizes 5 pistons and some repeaters.... but the one used in the Over-Engineering video on Youtube is about 4 times faster and makes smooth stone.
no yours uses sponge how is that cheap you cant even get that in the game his is much better it is automatic yours isent
Whether you can get Sponge or not makes "0 difference", for the simple fact that the surrounding blocks can be "many "other" blocks" aside from 'wood' or 'snow/ice' on the lava side for obvious reasons. That design is not dependent on the "Sponge Blocks", those blocks could be 'Dirt'. Though none of that matters in that it's 'huge' by comparison to the actual smallest fastest cheapest and best design.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
Look, mine is even cheaper! Uses no pistons/redstone!
But srsly, a cobblestone generator is nothing worth making a fuss about, since everyone(and yes, I mean EVERYONE) knows how to make one. Pushing the cobble out of the "generation zone" is just a little gimmick.
His is automatic and pushes the cobblestone out, kaz_bricks was manual, but still pushes the cobblestone out, yours doesn't even push it.
And I can make one cheaper than yours, all you need is a pickaxe. But that is not what he is thinking. His is automatic and pushes them, which is cool and makes it automatic, plus, you can make a giant tower of cobblestone. Yours is even less then manual, it's like for somebody who doesn't know how to break the floor.
Prove me wrong and make a cobblestone generator where you don't need at least a wooden pickaxe to break the generated block. Go ahead, try it.
As for the automation: as long as the blocks don't get destroyed immediately after their creation(WITHOUT me mining the block of course) it's not automated, simple as that.
This "giant tower of cobblestone" amuses me. I bet I can create a higher tower just by block jumping.
You might ask why I posted that picture in the first place, that's a legitimate question to ask. The answer is quite simple: to proof the OP wrong that his design is the cheapest and fastest cobblestone generator. It's not even the smallest since his design takes up a ton of usable space.
are you ignorant or something?
There are far more people that would rather have my design than yours, at mine, you can keep 100% of the cobblestone, your design, you lose up to 20% of the cobblestone.
This i like the closest to automated you can come without using mods.
Uh, I don't really have anything under the cobble block, there's just another yellow clay block(You know, as cheap as possible). But yeah, this is as cheap as you can go. It can be "improved" by replacing the block behind the one you mine with obsidian. This is so you don't mine that one on accident while AFKing.
You can use the landscape around you for the frame, it doesn't get much cheaper than that. Though I do agree with the Obsidian block or placing something else there that wont break.
theres about a 20% chance that the cobble dropps into the lava, thus its efficency cant be better than 80%.
True and that all depends where you're standing, which can be pretty hairy especially if you fall into it lol but you can put the efficiency back to 100% with Hoppers.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
I edited my post about 5 minutes after I made it but apparently not fast enough lol.. I took off the part about being "cheaper" or "faster" and what I showed doesn't have to begin with Hoppers nor does it require all of them, as shown by S3l33ngrab.
Neat idea, Hardmuscle, but I believe this will do the same thing with even less resources than yours, still maintaining the 100% rate.Although this design needs 1 iron more than OPs, you still don't need any redstone at a 100% gathering rate.

5 pistons? there is only 1 i can see were your coming from because its a sticky piston i have and i dear hes is not being updated like a bud switch it is like a clock witch is cool but if you made it like a bud you would be able to use a normal piston so 3 reperters is cheap say 12 redstone is cheap and then a piston makes it much cheaper
The design I am referring to (in the over-engineering) uses 5 pistons. It has 4 "reactors" each reactor has a piston that pushes the block to the center in sequence and the center piston fires after each reactor piston pushing the created block out of the way. So in the time it takes for one reactor to refresh.... 3 more have been fired.
My design: 1 Furnace // 8 Cobblestone 1 Workbench // 1 Log or 4 Wooden Planks 1 Wooden Pickaxe // 2 Sticks and 3 Planks 1 Stone Pickaxe // 2 Sticks and 3 Pieces of Cobblestone 1 Bucket // Equal to 3 pieces of Iron, need 2 Planks to smelt 8 Cobblestone // For the frame of the generator
Total: 3 Logs
19 Pieces of Cobblestone
3 Iron Ore
Your design: 1 Sticky Piston // Consists of 1 piece of Redstone Dust, 3 Planks, 1 Slime Ball, 1 Piece of Iron and 4 pieces of Cobblestone 6 Redstone Dust 3 Redstone Repeaters // A total of 18 Smooth Stone, 9 Redstone Dust and 6 Sticks 1 Bucket // I only count the buckets once since you can use them more than once, consists of 3 Iron 1 Lever // 1 Cobblestone and 1 Stick 1 Wooden Pickaxe // 2 Sticks and 3 Planks 1 Stone Pickaxe // 2 Sticks and 3 Cobblestone 1 Iron Pickaxe // 2 Sticks and 3 Iron 1 Glass // Made out of 1 Sand 1 Furnace // 8 Cobblestone 1 Workbench // 1 Log or 4 Planks
Total: 16 Redstone Dust
34 Cobblestone
1 Slime Ball 7 Iron Ore // To smelt this, we use a piece of charcoal made from our wooden pickaxe and the leftover stick 1 Sand // Tbh, this can be anything that can be pushed by pistons, thus I won't calculate smelting costs. 5 Logs // For the 7 sticks and 10 Planks necessary and the piece of charcoal
Now talk about cheap. I didn't even include the piece of glass you had to smelt. And no, I am not ignorant since the only I thing I try to prove is that your design is not cheap. Not at all. Furthermore, you haven't said anything about it being automated, you only claimed that yours is the, and I quote, "Fastest, cheapest and best cobblestone generator!". This is a plain lie. It is not horribly faster(the piston pushing up may be a faster way to get the cobblestone out of the generation zone, but it still is slower in terms of resource gathering because you have to mine it by hand, possibly preventing the piston from pushing the cobble up). For example, in the time you go searching for the Redstone, I can already farm cobble. Secondly, it's nowhere close to being cheap. You have to hunt for slimes. Mine down to redstone level. Make an Iron Pick. All these things cost you not only time, but more important resources. Since you can't prove your design to be better at any of the relevant points, you can't call it "best cobblestone generator". Got it?
I do really hope that you can see why your design won't be chosen over the regular one, especially in maps like Skyblock or similar. It just isn't worth the additional resources.
About that glass "that could be anything", wrong! The reason it's a glass there, is because when the redstone goes trough to activate the piston, the glass will not get redstone power trough!
As said again, it's cheap in the form of being automatic! (as far as it goes, without mods)
And this looks even FAR more cooler than your designe!
For those who likes and understand redstone, would MUCH rather have this in SkyBlock than yours!
Yeah I see, your design is very clever in the begining, but as it goes further, people want to upgrade stuff....
And if you wait some days, I will put out a video, where this is the designe, and is ALOT better!

Obviously you're not thinking clearly or you don't understand what a SkyBlock World is.
In terms of cheap or for a SkyBlock World (as said already at least a dozen times), anything that requires Redstone is expensive. Good Luck getting it lol.. let alone making anything with it.
Try building anything other than the 'actual smallest' on this world lol..
A typical SkyBlock World starts you off on a little 5x5 island with a Tree and very minimal supplies in a chest, with the challenge being that this island is in the sky 'and' it is the only land in the entire world.
Check this out for example, watch this fellow make a Cobblestone Generator in a SkyBlock World.

Ok YouTube was trolling me earlier, I found the videos I was looking for:
Top these lmao!
Multiple output points cause you to lose the efficiency of a piston driven one since you are constantly moving to break the cobble (mouse to turn or wasd to get to the next point). They are undeniably resource light though.
In the end this is a thread about red stone contraptions though and none of these designs utilize red stone instantly making them irrelevant to the topic.

If you stand in the empty space in the middle or sides of the "no redstone" versions, they both go to your inventory and you cannot mine them both at the same time. Which is just as fast as any other huge redstone monster, except that it uses only 1 water and 1 lava. (next to nothing in resources lol)
As for the going off topic bit, that you are trying to pull....
This topic is technically and politically incorrect... starting with the Title..
It's not the fastest, it's not the cheapest and it certainly is not the best...
I think I more than proved that, for all 3 factors involved lol .. nice try!

In the context of requiring red stone, I agree with you that he meets none of the claimed attributes (fast, cheap, best) but you, in the context of requiring red stone, did not prove that.
Additionally standing in the middle or sides of your generators won't typically auto collect as you will be pushed by the current and have to constantly keep your place, or stand above the broken blocks in which case you won't collect.
The true "cheapest, fastest, best" would be maxedout's design modified to have a clock... and not using sponges.

This thread is not titled in such a way that it requires redstone, but instead it's claiming to be something it is not. It's not the fastest, it's not the cheapest by a super long shot and it's not the best.
Anyone can stack mechanics and say it's the best..
Though it's doesn't really work that way.... that's sort of like saying your house is better than mine because you paid 10 times more for it, while completely overlooking the fact that I don't pay property taxes while you pay out the yin yang.. < that's just an example.
Bigger is NOT ALWAYS better .. lol .
and yes I did prove the redstone part and in a way good fashion, you just chose to overlook that fact.
All of SethBling's designs from those last videos I posted, can have 'hopper lines' ran below them; which blows all of the 'shown redstone builds' right out the window.
